Origins of TRA

Since the launch of CEDR in 2003, TRA has been one of the key platforms for cooperation with key stakeholders in transport innovation.

In 2002, the then Western European Road Directors (WERD) received a proposal from FEHRL to establish a European Road Research Conference. When CEDR was created one year later, the plans for such an activity started to develop and discussions with the European Road Transport Research Advisory Council (ERTRAC) and the European Commission began.

Here are some of the key documents tracing the development of TRA over the years.
